Cmon, every time Kev has a problem with a plane set he backs it up.
Then every time the same reason is used " If plane X is in the set people wont fly here.".


I have no problem with the AvA  I fly in there when MA bores me.
I'll fly what ever is in the plane set.
Just don't go calling it historical cus we all know it is not.

OK you said
"Go ahead dig up when and where then current AvA staff made claim that all sets will be 100% historically accurate 100% of the time while always catering to a LW squads whims and wishes. I'll settle if you can find where its even implied.



Assumtions, personal bias, baseless accusations, and lies. You guys consider that a valid argument?".

From thread
http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=178786&perpage=40&highlight=historicly%20accurate&pagenumber=1

Now you will reply with 100% being a caveat.
As to the personal Bias comment yup both sides.
You want to call it trying to be accurate .  I jump up and down calling you on it.

Baseless accusations??? I was agreeing with only with kev on Spit MK entry dates.
Lies now you can go find something about this topic I lied about.
Hows that for a valid argument ehh.


Guys don't think I have something against the AvA staff. Cuz I don't. You all do a thankless job. We just have a difference of opinion. I get mixed information from the ava staff.. like this thread for instance.  
Like I said in other posts on this topic either you strive to be accurate or you don't. Subbing for planes that are missing yup good call can work with it. But burring you heads in the sand and ignoring an AC that was actually used.... Come on .

I'm constantly amazed that three or four dogs in the manger feel such a compulsion to trash the AvA whenever it comes up.  If you don't want to fly there, that's fine, but why the knee-jerk tirades over something you know very little about?

- oldman



Oldman,
I am not trashing the AvA or it's staff. What I am doing is pointing out what I see is a flaw nothing more.
Lemme reverse this a little bit suppose you didn't add the k4 to a plane set.
Then you add cause it would be to unbalancing. What  you do you suppose would happen.

1:Winter terrain

mosy won't fly in the AvA for several reasons, people runnin other people off by treating them like crap,no spit 16's, la's or other late war dweeb rides that are on full time in the MA.I have always promoted the AvA but it is really hard too get folks to come in there and play.maybe change the name again,that always sparks intrest.........

The ma has gotten so bad lately that...  Oh well... I think the only way most people in the ma want to fight is if they can get planes landing or taking off or.... in that first visor down jousting head on charge.

The ma has proven that teamwork and organization lead to boredom.

The ma has proven that if you have a game with a really low price per month you get a whole bunch of guys that you would be better off not having to play.

Nobody has to go to the main arena if they don't want to.

Word of advice: if you don’t want to be quoted for being critical of the Main Arena.., resist the urge — don’t criticize it. If tempted close your eyes and repeat the phrase "Lots of good fights" or join the closest horde.

Through long experience, this has been found to be the most effective way to rejoin your fellow sleepwalkers...

Wouldn't be so bad, but a 1944 Spit XVI performs NO BETTER than a 1943 LF IXc, only difference is 50cals v .303s.

Yet this plane is SO unbalancing to the late war LW rides it has to be deliberatley excluded from setups it would historically be in.

I suppose if the VIII had been clipped it would be gone from the AvA also.

Maybe some need to look at Spit VIII v Spit XVI comparison -
http://www.gonzoville.com/ahcharts/index.php?p1=spit16&p2=spit8

Spit VIII - 1943
Spit XVI - 1944 aka Spit LF IXe
Spit LF IXc - 1943 (Spit XVI with .303s in place of 50cals)

Huge difference in performance...NOT. Only big difference is the XVI roll rate, but this would also apply to a clipped 1943 LF IXc or a clipped VIII.

Or the LF IXe (XVI) from the Italy setup (for which there is a HISTORICAL skin!!!, 40sqn SAAF)-
Repeat after me .

In all honesty, everyone should give the AvA a try, even if just once.
I did the first week it was relaunched, just didn't like it, was expecting more.
Just for the moment it seems to have fallen back into it's old CT mentality.

mojo... after the first sentance I didn't I didn't understand your comment.  Was it english of some kind?

The whole thread was simply a put down of other peoples styles and a attempt at being elitists.

The ma is bad and getting worse but... the ava isn't much of an alternative with much of the same problems and some that are unique to it.

like....

low numbers... stilted planesets with lack of variety that only an ava planeset can have...

one suad or group being able to dominate due to lack of numbers..

an inability of most of it's players to accept the fact that they are mostly just mediocre so far as skills go.

on the plus side... it does have a few players like oldman who are class acts and the lack of numbers allow them to stand out.

and... less land grab timid horders.

sssssshhhhhh leave them in the MA.
 sirloin is plain wrong and as far as correctness goes,  lasz is 100%  kev is 244.34% and bronk is so right he's going full circle to being wrong.

stay away from the AvA.  it sucks.  I never go there ask anyone.
